On November 1, 2018, police in Springfield, Missouri, responded to reports of gunfire at a residence on 906 East Locust Street. Inside the home officers found multiple victims; 23-year-old Aaron Hampton, known to friends and family as Joshua, was discovered dead from gunshot wounds. Another resident, 38-year-old Steven Marler, also died at the scene, and two others were shot and survived. The next day investigators found a third deceased victim, Sabrina Starr, at her home on North Oakland Avenue.

Authorities identified Luis Perez, a former roommate who had recently been evicted from the East Locust residence, as the primary suspect. Investigators say Perez returned that night and opened fire; they allege Starr provided the weapon used in the initial killings and was later killed. Two others were charged in connection with the attack: Aaron D. Anderson was charged with first-degree murder and assault for his alleged role at the East Locust home, and Dalia Garcia faced tampering with physical evidence charges for reportedly helping to destroy items tied to the homicides.

Does anyone have information about Aaron Hampton’s life in Springfield or about the East Locust Street residence that could help fill in details about that night?
